HI THERE,
MAY BE THE PERSON WHO TOOK BLOOD COUNTER PUNCTURED THE VEIN AND THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SOME OOZING INSIDE.
NOTHING TO WORRY DEFINITELY.
YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME DISCOMFORT WHICH IS GOING TO SETTLE DOWN IN A WEEK OR SO.
YOU MAY WANT TO TRY TOPICAL HEPARIN OINTMENT TO REDUCE THE SWELLING. THIS WILL ALLOW THE CLOTTED BLOOD TO RESOLVE.
